I had pizza from a chain called "Donato's" the last time I was in Cincy, and they had that style of thin crust. For a chain it actually wasn't bad (we don't have them on the East coast), but that super-crispy style of thin pizza is my least favorite.

When we order pizza my wife insists on Donato's, specifically because of the cracker-type crust.  Thankfully they load up their pizza with plenty of pepperoni, so there's something in it for me.


Delivery pizza has little to choose from and they are the best in your area that I know of. The best here is maybe Round Table, but honestly I'd rather pick up something good if it only takes a few minutes.

There's a good one here called Blind Onion that I like. I think they only have like 5 stores and they're from the Portland area originally. I walk in and wait for them to make it because they have great brews on tap I can sample while I'm waiting.

It seems like the more national pizza joints get, the worse they are. I can't think of an exception to that rule off the top of my head.

I think that's about right.

I take the position that all pizza is edible, bad pizza is still pizza. But the national chains I basically never order myself, if they are somewhere for free I'll eat them and be fine with it. At certain stadiums if I'm in the mood for pizza at a sporting event I might buy one of the national chain pizzas because sometimes they are the only option in those situations. Of the national chains I think Papa Johns is best (not a big fan of how sweet their sauce is though, but I have a lot more problems with Domino's/Pizza Hut/Little Caesar's.)

Dunno how large they are, but Marco's makes a good pizza.  LaRossa's is the favorite of the yokels and it's-- not that great.  They use asiago in their cheese blend, so it smells absolutely amazing but it's downhill from there.  Their tomato paste sauce and grocery-store-deli crust are meh.

Best dine-in or carry-out here by far is Dewey's http://www.deweyspizza.com/  and their beer selection is also pretty awesome.

I think you're right.

Apparently asiago is one of those PDO products. Euros, what is non-official asiago cheese called?

No religion (except maybe Jainism) has a prohibition on chicken.

I met a gal who is a Jain (or at least form a Jain family) a while back.  She was impressed that I had even the slightest clue as to what Jainism was :showoff:

I'd just like to note that I am not eating anything off bones. That's not why we climbed down the goddamn trees for.

We climbed down from the trees for the express purpose of eating off the bone.  If you are not eating off the bone you should just go back up into the trees.

I had KFC for lunch today.  Three tenders with honey BBQ sauce, slaw, and a biscuit.

It is the one fast food I have any desire to eat.  But I have successfully avoided it for the last several years.

They still make decent biscuits.  Can't touch Popeye's biscuits, though.
